#AlexandriaOcasioSmollet Trends Number One On Twitter After She Releases Misleading Video About Her Capitol Experience
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted a video to her Instagram detailing her experience during the January 6th Capitol riot and claimed to be hiding in Katie Porter’s office thinking she was going to die in the U.S. Capitol building.
The representative also claimed that Senator Ted Cruz almost had her murdered when he responded to a post she made agreeing with her statement.
I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out.
Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed.
In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign. https://t.co/4mVREbaqqm

This reveal led to users on Twitter to criticize and call out AOC for lying about ‘nearly being assassinated’ and Jack Posobiec was another to fact check her.

The hashtag #AlexandriaOcasioSmollett became number 1 on Twitter’s trending section and Candace Owens mocked AOC by pointing out her other act of standing near a fence feeling sad for the immigrant children in cages.
On a day in which #AlexandriaOcasioSmollett is trending, please never forget the time that @AOC staged a photo shoot dressed in all white at a parking lot to spread lies about immigrant children in cages.
Faking her own attempted murder was the next logical step. pic.twitter.com/y8mNNowMGy
